Accuracy and sourcing

Factual claims are verified against primary documents, on-chain data or named sources before publication. Where a claim cannot be independently confirmed, we say so in the text.

Bylines and datelines

Every article names its author and their role, and carries an explicit publication time in UTC. When an article is materially updated, the update time is displayed alongside the original publication time.

Conflicts of interest

Staff disclose holdings in any asset they cover and may not trade an asset within 72 hours of publishing about it. Reporters do not accept paid speaking fees, tokens or travel from companies they cover.

Advertising and sponsored content

Commercial material is visually distinct, labelled "Sponsored", written outside the newsroom and excluded from our RSS and Google News feeds. Advertisers have no input into editorial decisions.

Use of automation

We do not publish machine-generated articles. Automated tools may assist with data collection or transcription; a named human reporter is responsible for every published word.

Corrections

Errors are corrected promptly and transparently. Significant corrections carry a note at the foot of the article and an entry in the public corrections log.
